Almost a year ago I posted some pictures of Jeannie and Luke looking rather similar. You wouldn’t think that I would manage to get a pair where Helen and Luke look distinctly alike but here they are. Though maybe it”s just the setting, or the cheeky smiles or the stripy clothes …..

I doubt that I will ever take a better set of pictures of Luke in such a small space of time: first in the pool and then on the stoep with the rocking horse. It was in early March on a lovely hot day.

Thanks to Jeannie, who has asked before, and Julia Possener (who said yesterday she wants to see more of Luke) for getting me to post them. If anyone wants a full size image (2 to 3 mb) just let me know.

But when mother Joan died the bears were found again: they had been kept as precious treasures in her special cupboard. Roddy took them all the way home to South Africa thinking that one day he might have grandchildren of his own who would want to play with them. They stayed in Roddy’s special cupboard for a long while but then one day they were brought out. Brother Andy had come to visit and Roddy’s wife, Kate, took them out and placed them in Andy’s room: to remind him of home!

The bears spent several days resting on the bed in the warm summer sunshine. Then one day Roddy’s grandson, Luke, came to play and gave the bears what they had wanted for so long: to be picked up and taken outside for some fun! And here they are ….

I am sure every doting grandfather says to his daughter ‘he looks just like …… at ….. when …..’ but here’s something from the photo archive. Two photo pairs of Jeannie and Luke at just about the same age.
